Reading this report
What does "Medium and Large 1" mean?
USDA feeder grades describe frame size and muscle thickness, not quality of the individual animal. "Medium and Large" is the frame score; the number is muscle (1 = heaviest muscled). "Medium and Large 1–2" pens mix both muscle scores — common across the Southeast.
What is $/cwt?
Dollars per hundredweight — per 100 lb of animal. A 500-lb calf at $450/cwt brings 5 × $450 = $2,250. Lighter cattle usually bring more per cwt but less per head.
Why are some prices per head?
Bred cows, cow-calf pairs, and some replacement classes sell by the head, not by weight. We show those exactly as USDA reports them — a $/head figure is never converted into $/cwt on this site.
Where do these numbers come from?
From the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Livestock Market News — federal reporters at the sale. We publish each report in full and link the official USDA document at the top of the page.
First reported feeder sale in several weeks a market trend is not applicable. Slaughter and feeding cows sold unevenly steady with slaughter bulls 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good at both reporting auctions. Few, fresh bawling calves hit the market this week and the offering only had spring time vaccinations. Light and spotty rain across some of the state giving people in the agriculture world hope that more moisture is on the horizon. Hay prices are extremely high for the livestock owner this summer with a limited supply on hand and really good demand has prevailed all year. Quite a lot of hay is getting shipped into the state.
